RAILWAY MATTERS.

EASTERN RAILROAD STOCKHOLDERS,
MEETING.
At an adjourned meeting Thursday after
noon of the stockholders of the Eastern
Railrood, Mr.. Samuel c. Lawrence presid-
ing, balloting took place for the election OF
two Directors to fill the vacancies on the
board caused by the declination Of Messrs.
William Simms, Of Boston, and, and George
Haywood, Of Concord, Mass. After an hour
the polls were declared closed The only
ballot that appeared was the one bearing the
names Of Jarvis ID. Braman and Joseph IL.
Gray, of Boston. Mr.. Benjamin n. johnson
asked a series of questions relating to the
expenditures Of the company during the past
year, to which answers were given by Chair
man Lawrence. The latter explained that
the increase-about S43.000-in the oTganiza-
tion expense over that of the previous year
was caused by the expense connected WITH
the issue of the preferred stock, and consists
of the charges for commissions and legal ser
vices, advertising, etc.
The meeting rejected motion by Mr.
johnson that a committee of three stoekhold-
ers be appointed to examine the books OF the
company and report on the receipts and ex-
penditures during the past year.
The efforts to compromise the factions
among the stockholders have been success
full. The compromise Is on the very simple
basis OF allowing each party two OF the Tour
positions on the Board of Directors which
have been in dispute. In view of this COM
promise it Is agreed that the Injunction OBJ
tanned from the court in reference TO the
legality of the methods pursued at the last
meeting will be dissolved
An adjournment was had to l p. N. yester
day to hear the report of the committee on
ballOting:

CUSTOM HOUSE GUT DOWN.
The Customs offices at Boothbay,
Damariscotta, Thomaston and St.
George viii be Closed by Ii.

BooTHBAY, Dec. 3O.-There is considera-
BILE feeling here and at Southport over the
order of the Secretary of the Treasury to
Collector Runlet to dismiss all the sub-ofii-
cers.but one deputy in this collection district
the order to take effect Jan. 1st. Collector
RunIet says this would oblige him to dismiss
all the officers at Boothbay, and close the
collectors office there, as he must have
deputy at the head Office In Wiscasset. This
would oblige all our vessel owners to go to
Wiscasset to document their vessels and
change papers, and would leave no officer to
look after the hundreds of Province vessels
that run into Boothbay for harbor, and to
look after the unloading of foreign cargoes,
and would render it very difficult to secure
the privileges now enjoyed in maintaining
bonded warehouses for salt to be used in
curing fish.
1t is understood that similar order has
been given Collector Moore of the Waldo
boro district, which would necessitate the
closing of the collectors Offices at Damaris-
Gotta, Thomaston and st. George.
The inconvenience to the public would be
so great as a necessary result of this order,
that Congressman Dingley was asked to see
the Secretary and endeavor to obtain mod
ification of the order. Mr.. Dingley present
ed the situation to the Treasury Department,
and obtained modification, practically ex-
tending to Feb. 1st, the time when it should
go into force, to give time to investigate the
facts.
Congressman Dingley has represented to
the Secretary the necessity of maintaining
the custom offices at Boothbay, Damarlscotta,
Thomaston and st. George to afford vessel
act their business and to meet the require
mentS of law.

queer Names in Maine Families.

Boston Courier
A young lady who has been engaged in in
dexing the deeds in the probate Office in
town well up in the interior Of Maine, has
made list of some of the more singular
names she encountered. The list is too long
to be printed in full, but the following may
serve as samples of the Christian names af-
fected by people in that part of the world:
Elanson, Ladoe, Wealthy, Generous, Pass
chal, Lupina. Mighil, Araunah, Squire, De-
luva, Barzillai, Calvary, Harrison, Zophau,
Philander, lamar, Ethel, Mories Axiel,
Mopestill, Piram, Jacob Cobb, Jerathmael,
Rancil, Hazareman, Sprout, Demeric (Swanl,
Bana (Teague), Angler, Uzza, Lila and Cad.
Some of the groups of names brought to-
gether in single families, were most remark
able. One band of brothers and sisters re-
ioiced in the name of Africa, Bella, Calvin,
family with Calvin and Luther both must at
least have been sufficiently orthodox. An
other set of children were named Maria,
Zacheus, Tallerand, Abernethy, Abijah, Cy
iah, Ora, and zachariah, Jr. An
other. Abijah, Africa, Abial, Abner, Betsey,
Cadwallader w. f., Cornelius, Edison, Eu-
nice, Europe. Gal1n I'd, Loven. Orin, Paine
M. c., Salmon and Saison.
Still another, Asia, Diodamia, Grinfill H.,
Judah A., Justus c., Mesbach, Oxen g., and
Roam b. And again, Arch. Branch, Church
p, Liberty and Rouse, Aaron, Abigail, Alan
son, Ansel, Autumers, Cyprian, Dresser, Ma
hala, Noah o., and Simon, Jr.; .Ebenezer,
Eber, Ephraim, Haddassah, Hepsibah, Mer-
cy, Moses, Narcissa, Phoebe. and solomon;
and last, but by no means least, solomon,
Zaccheus. Zebulan, Zachariah, Clemens,
Esek, Isaac, Joshua, Levi, Polla, Sahra, Do
minicus, Perez, Timothy, Rispah, ZophaD.
Rosela, Salmon, Sylvia, and Magnes. The
energy which could bring such families, into
the world and then supply them with names
so extraordinary Is so astounding as to make
men of these degenerate days stand aghast
in silent wonder. No wonder the present
generation is somewhat feeble when the last
exerted itself to an extent so amazing.
